Seeing Zhang Hong make a victory gesture, Yun Yun also laughed silently. The two led Kawasaki and wanted to leave the bottom of the sea, but the accident happened.

A large number of sharks swarmed in, and the white teeth of the forest were overwhelming, so frightened that the two of them could no longer care about staying alive, so they decisively gave up Kawasaki and swam to the shore desperately.

A large cloud of blood mist erupted behind him, and Kawasaki was torn to pieces in the blink of an eye, but fortunately, the blood attracted the attention of these sea wolves, and the two returned to the shore without danger. When the mood was relaxed, I suddenly felt my limbs tremble, and I couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and at the same time I fell on the beach and gasped......

After a while, the voice came, and Hailong arrived anxiously with a large number of subordinates, and was obviously relieved to see that Yun Yun and Zhang Hong were unharmed. When he heard that Kawasaki's bones were gone, he was also scared into a cold sweat, constantly complaining that they were too risky.

Yun He smiled and asked about the battle, it turned out that the war had long ended, and none of the water bandits and robbers had escaped. The black bear was also severely injured by the sea dragon, and was subsequently dismembered by the angry officers and soldiers. At present, the officers and men of the Navy Division are searching the mountains to find fish that have slipped through the net.

In this battle, a total of 240 enemy soldiers were killed, more than 300 people were captured, more than 20 large and small enemy ships were sunk, including two ironclad ships of the bandits and two main warships of the Japanese Bandits, and 17 enemy ships were captured.

The losses of the naval division were acceptable, three battleships and troop carriers were sunk, five were heavily damaged, and more than 200 casualties were suffered. The brothers of the two gangs suffered little losses, only more than 20 casualties, and the damaged battleships were not serious. Now Lord Zhou is concentrating on interrogating the prisoners and treating the wounded, mainly to find out the whereabouts of the two Japanese warships.

When the group returned to the temporary station of the water division at the foot of the mountain, Master Zhou was listening to the report of his subordinates with a gloomy face. The interrogation has yielded some results, and most of them have been recruited except for a few leaders and die-hards who know that they will die, but they have not received much useful information, and the black bear has collected a lot of evidence of smuggling and kidnapping over the years.

The interrogation of the captured Japanese invaders also had initial results, but these small fish and shrimp only knew that this time it was indeed Kojiro who led the team, but a few days ago they got the news that Yokota had successfully returned to Japan and re-taken over the family business, so the war with Kojiro and his gang broke out again, so Kojiro hurriedly returned to the town with the flagship.

However, there is one piece of news that has attracted the attention of the boss, that is, Kojiro has integrated several powerful Japanese groups along the coast of Japan, and has sheltered a large number of homeless people and ronin, the number of which has exceeded 5,000. He was not satisfied with running between Daming and Japan, and wanted to establish a base along the coast of Daming. This attack was to test the reaction of the Ming officials and find a foothold.

This made the old man extremely uneasy, the number of pirates had exceeded the total number of sailors, and most of them were outlaws, and they were highly mobile. What's more, the coastline of the Ming Dynasty is too long, and if the sailors concentrate on the attack, they will be exhausted and led by the nose by the Japanese invaders. Once the troops were divided, they gave each of the Japanese a chance to break through.

Moreover, the harassment of the Japanese in a small area did not attract enough attention from the imperial court, and now asking for support may not be recognized by the imperial court. Even if you agree, training recruits, building battleships, and casting artillery cannons are not something that can be completed in a short time.

Seeing that Lord Zhou was worried, Zhang Hong and Hailong comforted him repeatedly, saying that the two gangs would fully support the sailor to advance and retreat together, and the old man's face eased a little.

In the next few days, the sailors rested on the spot, dismantled a large number of pirate ships and repaired the warships, and the interrogation of the prisoners was intensified, hoping to get more useful information. Yun also swept the headquarters of the Seahorse Gang with the officers and soldiers.

When the water bandits' treasure vault was discovered, even he was shocked. It's not that Yun Yun hasn't seen money, and the silver that Dafa Chamber of Commerce comes and goes every day is like flowing water, but he was still taken aback by the water bandits' collection.

I saw that in the warehouse covering an area of several acres, you can see boxes of all sizes, many of which are overwhelmed and have fallen apart, gold and silver have flowed all over the ground, and many of them are moldy. There are a lot of jewels and jade, and one of them is a large coral that is more than one person tall and is thrown in the corner of the wall at will. The other two Jade Buddhas also weighed hundreds of pounds and fell to the ground, and many places were somewhat damaged......

Seeing this, the old man gritted his teeth angrily, how many innocent people must be killed to accumulate so much wealth! So he ordered it to be sealed on the spot and reported to be dealt with later.

But looking at Hailong and Zhang Hong's scorching eyes, Lord Zhou still secretly ordered his subordinates to send five boxes of gold and silver each to make up for the losses suffered by the two gangs, which also made the two smile.

As the number one hero of this battle, Yun also received a box, but he had no concept of money, so he entrusted Lord Zhou to transfer it to the surviving villagers of Xiaogang Village for rebuilding their homes, which made the old man sigh again.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye, and the sailor had finished resting. Lord Zhou gave the order to pull out, and the brigade passed through the narrow sea channel without danger and ran into the scout ship of the sailor. His subordinates hurriedly reported that thousands of Japanese soldiers had attacked Qingshui County on the coast, and they had changed the strategy of retreating with one blow in the past, and had besieged the city for three days and continued to storm it, and they had the posture of eating Qingshui County in one bite.

The city defense of Qingshui County was not strong, the wall was no more than a foot high, the defenders were less than 500, and they suffered heavy damage in the past three days. The county leader Ma was helpless, and they forcibly broke through to ask for help from Lord Zhou and the local garrison Zhao.

The old man was anxious to get the news. Although Qingshui County is not large, it has the largest shipbuilding workshop along the coast, and the loss is incalculable once it falls. So he ordered the sailors to move forward at full speed and be ready for battle at any time. The two groups of men and horses were duty-bound and also went to the front line with the sailors.

After a day of sailing at full speed, the group finally approached the waterway leading to Qingshui County in the evening. But when I got here, I was dumbfounded.

It was a narrow waterway several miles long, flanked by high cliffs, and only two boats could pass side by side, but now it was difficult to move an inch. Apparently the Wako had expected the help of the sailors, and the waterways were full of sunken fishing boats and floating trees, which could not be cleared in a matter of days.

Seeing the anxious expressions of the crowd, he asked, "Can't you bypass it elsewhere?"

Zhang Hong frowned: "Yes, but the geographical location of Qingshui County is special, in the southernmost part of the land." This is a shortcut to enter and exit on weekdays, if you forcibly bypass, even if it is smooth, it will take seven or eight days, crossing nearly half of the coastline of the Ming Dynasty. When the time comes, it is estimated that Qingshui County will be finished!"

The old man pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The only way to do this is to allocate a part of the men to land on the shore and go through the jungle to rescue. But if this is a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, if you turn back, the sailors will definitely suffer heavy losses, and there are still hundreds of prisoners on the ship to guard, so there must be enough men on the ship. In this case, less than 1,000 people will be able to land and fight. Moreover, the jungle is difficult to walk, and it is impossible to carry large long-range attack weapons, and once you encounter a well-prepared Japanese bandit, you will inevitably fall into a bitter battle, and the result is not optimistic. But saving people is like fighting fires, and I will personally lead the team there, I wonder who is willing to go with me?"

Zhang Hong and Hailong stood up first, the two of them have been friends with Lord Zhou for many years, and they have the deepest relationship, and they don't worry that he will take risks at such an age. Yun also expressed his willingness to go, and Zhang Hong dissuaded him for a while to no avail. Then many officers and soldiers of the Navy Division were willing to follow the boss to take risks, which made Lord Zhou very moved.

In the end, 700 men with good physical strength and martial arts were selected to land on the shore, and the others hurried around the coastline to support as much as possible.

The matter was urgent, so Yun rushed with the brigade overnight. The jungle at night is very difficult to navigate, and people are constantly falling or scratched by trees and rocks. Moreover, there are many mosquitoes, smelling the smell of meat, overwhelmingly swarming, almost each member of the team holds two torches to keep driving away, but with little effect, and from time to time soldiers are bitten by poisonous insects, snakes and ants......

Fortunately, everyone was well prepared, and they all carried antidotes with them, although they were not fatal, but the pain and itching were not something that ordinary people could bear.

I walked all night, but it was only more than 30 miles. Seeing that everyone couldn't hold on, Lord Zhou was anxious but helpless and ordered to rest temporarily. Many people fall asleep as soon as they lie down, obviously very tired.

The clouds were fine, and it was not difficult for him to walk through the woods, so he helped the soldiers who still had energy to make a fire and cook......

While he was busy, there was a sudden noise in the woods. Thinking that they had encountered a wild beast, they hurriedly grabbed their bows and arrows, but saw a figure pounced out covered in blood.
